City Tour

Covered all the best bits of Geneva, on bus, train and by boat. Was a large group and stops were very brief, prefer a walking tour.

100% recommended

This is a very interesting and pleasant tour giving you different experiences. A lot of interesting information about the city. Best way to start the visit of Geneva. Gabriel, the guide, is very professional and also a very nice person, who does his best for the visitors. Before boarding to the bus you will need to check in in the office, look for Swiss Tour to the left of the bus station (if you stay to facing the entrance).

Highly recommended 3 hour tour of Geneva

Excellent orientation and guide to key sights in Geneva; great guide, comfortable bus ride around the city combined with a trolley tour of the old town. I did this tour years ago and the service is much improved this time. The boat cruise was relaxing and gives a very different perspective of seeing Geneva from the lake.
